The Element collection is the latest manifestation of Yoshioka’s ongoing development, numerous experiments and research for his ‘Crystallized project’ initiated in 2007. “Through the project, [I] would like to throw a question of how we could connect our lives to the future, by being exposed to the serendipitous beauty born of nature.” says Yoshioka.
